Do you get a newspaper delivered to your house or buy one in a shop or subscribe to / read one daily online? Or just read it every now and then? Or can you not remember the last time you read the newspaper?
Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com

You may have seen my recent blog, but Japan's kare pan was named one of the world's 50 best breads by CNN. What's your favorite bakery item here in Japan? Would love to hear your thoughts!

With Culture Day coming up next month, I'm curious to hear what tradition, habit, or value my fellow City-Cost bloggers most appreciate about living here. I know there's a lot to choose from, so if you have to mention a few things go right ahead!

I think overall I've become more accepting of my body during my years in Japan, and I would say a big part of that is because of onsen culture. It has made me realize that bodies are just that...bodies...and they come in all different shapes and sizes. I'm wondering how you feel about your own body image based on your time here. Has it helped or hindered your perception?
